THE BIRD IN THE Bush.

One of Pinkerton's men has been in the
city for some days after a ''duck' who
goes by the name of Van. Rutland. Rutland,
it seems, came to the city some months ago
and claimed that he was from Cincinnati.
He went around among the tOughs and
seemed to be lively fe low on general prin-
cipals. One night while painting the town
with gang, he dropI ed remark which had
a lasting impression on one of the gang who,
by the way, is doing local detective work He
thought to look after the fellow and wrote
Pinkerton his desl ri ption and all he knew of
him The letter was answered by sending a
man who identified him as being Tom Ali
son, who is charged with killing man near
Huntingdon, Pa. and for whom there is a re-
ward offered of 5000.
The detective saw his man Thursday last
and being satisfied that he was the party
wanted, made arrangements for the neces-
sary papers which would be on hand in few
days Roland in some way got on
to the little scheme Friday evening
and skipped between suns. The parties after
him felt just little cheap yesterday over
ioosing their bird.
1t seems evident that Roland or rather Al
lison had suspicious of the situation, as he
left, taking ali his effects without telling
anyone the truth concerning where be wa:
going. He told the proprietor of his board
ing house that he was changing rooms merely
and not going to leave town.

MERCHANTS DISPATCH.

Ths Merchants Dispatch Transportation
company has made arrangements for estab
fishing an office in this city. The company
takes in all the towns and cities of import
ance east of the Missouri river, but as yet
have done no business west of that line.
Some months ago the managers of the COM
pany commenced looking up the induce
ments for starting an Office in Wichita. 1t
was noticed that the express business in the
city was much more than that of any other
city in the state, and the company decided
to do some of the business.
Arrangements have been made with Mr.
C. A. Phillip, agent Of the Wells Fargo, for
attending to their business. Mr.. Phillip has
been agent for the Wells-Fargo in the city
for seven years, and during five years was
agent also for the Adams express
The Merchants Dispatch will commence
work to this point on the first of next month.
In talking with gentleman yesterday on
the subject he said that the fact that more
express companies were placing offices in the
city was good pointer. The fact that the
express companies now doing business in the
city were doing such an extensive business
was another good pointer. For over year
the business Of the express companies has
been in reasing rapidly. The so called dull
month would show more business than the
proceeding which was adjudged as meaning
that the city is developing too fast for the
companies to have any knowledge from ac-
counts Of the proven bal dull months.

A member of the school board stated yes
terday that all teachers who expected to

THE BORsF Collar COMPANY.

Mention of the hoi Sc collar company was
made some two weel ego, and yesterday a
reporter called upon MIR. Griswold at the &C.
cidental hotel to ascertain what progress he
had made.
Mr. Grswold stated that part of the stock
had been taken, but that the subscription
had not be en- pushed vigorously, owing to
the hot weather and the absence of SO many
men from the city. However, the matter is
to be taken up this week and arrangemen
completed for getting into operation soon.
In the meantime, however, Mr.. Griswold
has improved bis time in becom-
ing acquainted with the market he
will have to DO business in. He finds that
collars are imported into Wichita to the
amount Of from 100000 to $500 per an
mum.
be has also been introducing his patent
co upler by putting them upon the collars of
many of the draft horses belonging to vari
JUS transfer companies. These men heartily

Yesterdays GAME.

The attendance at yesterdays game was
larger than at any of the games since WITCH
ita's entrance into the Western League. The
prospects of fine game, with representa-
tives from The town at the mouth of the
Kaw, was too tempting for many to resist.
The game was not a good one and our
boys did not ''play ball." as a glance at the
score will show. Petlford pitched well and
no doubt saved the cub from q much worse
defeat. yet his support was not good Nine
errors were made and every one Of them
were costly. Hofford pitched very easy
ball and one that Yves very freely batted; in
fac every one Of the Wichitas batted him
strong. still they made very few safe hits.
1t would be difficult to pick cut the features,
if any such existed
The game was called at 4 O'Clock.
Hemp and Sunday both few
out to center field, and Isaacson
made base hit and scored on Buffers two
bagger; Hull few out to short stop. Lille
few out to second base; Manning took bases
on balls but was afterwards PUT out on first;
Hengle was hit by the ball and Mansell
reached first through error of pitcher, both
were advanced by passed ball, but were
left on bases by Hasamaer's fly to left field.
In the second inning the Wichitas retired in
order, McKeon, who had taken base on balls
stole second and reached third on Howe's
base hit, scored on catcher's error.
So far the score was even, both having one
run. In the third Hepgle through the error
of first reached first base and through the err
ror of third, scored. IL the third
with two men out Lille went to
the bat made a base bit and reached
second on Aannipg's single A passed ball
brought in both and gave Kansas City four
runs. Hosamear, in the next inning, made a
two Dagger and scored on errors. In the
sixth Hofford made two Dagger and
On Lilies double In the eighth Hofford and
Lille both made base hits. Each was ad
vanced one base by an error Of the catcher
Hofford scored on Hengle's single and Lille
error of short stop. The Wichitas could not
change their score in the ninth, and thus the
game resulted to in favor of the visitors

THE ROUTE QUESTION.

1t seems probable that before many days
the Grand Army men will decide which road
they will take to St Louis. The committee
appointed to make arrangements for trans
portation of the Posts in this county Sum-
ner and Kingman is growing impatient for
a settlement The committee don't seem to
think that any railroad with q line in the
city will give a rate less than one cent per
mile, and as Yet only one-the Rock Island
has agreed to carry for one cent. The other
roads still insisting on one and one-half cents
places the Rock Island in the lead on prices
a, least as far as Kansas City.
The western passenger associations holds a
meeting tomorrow at Kansas City to consid-
er the one cent per mile question Former
meetings seam to fail and many have little
fai in the meeting of tomorrow. The
committee seem TO think that unless the
association makes better rates tomorrow
there is no longer any use in waiting for
former bids and viii consider the roads from
the Inducements offered and settle tbs matter
as soon as possible

mated his choice Of lines.
